Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo analyze mutations of IDUA gene in two pedigrees affected with mucopolysaccharidosis type I and provide prenatal diagnosis for them.
METHODSThe 14 exons of the IDUA gene were subjected to PCR amplification and Sanger sequencing.
RESULTSFor pedigree 1, the proband was found to harbor compound heterozygous mutations c.46-57delTCGCTCCTGGCC (p.Ser16_Ala19del) of exon 1 and c.1147delC (p.Arg383Alafs*57) of exon 8 of the IDUA gene, which were inherited from his father and mother, respectively. The latter was unreported previously. Prenatal diagnosis suggested that the fetus has carried a heterozygous c.46-57delTCGCTCCTGGCC mutation. For family 2, the proband was also found to carry compound mutations of the IDUA gene, namely c.721T to C (p.Cys241Arg) of exon 6 and c.1491delG (p.Thr497fs27) of exon 8, which were inherited from her mother and father, respectively. Neither mutation was reported previously. Prenatal diagnosis suggested that the fetus has carried a heterozygous c.721T to C mutation.
CONCLUSIONMutations of the IDUA gene probably underlie the MPS-I in both pedigrees. Above results have enriched the spectrum of IDUA gene mutations and facilitated prenatal diagnosis for both families.
